Director Biography - Jac Roberts

With two decades of professional experience as a videographer and editor, I’ve produced many projects that range from the modest to the complex; this includes media for film/television, advertising/marketing, music videos, corporate videos, and independent ventures. I believe the perfect sequence of images is a combination of stunning visuals, great storytelling, and technical excellence. As of recently, a short film that I directed and edited, “Unresolved Phenomena,” won Best Short Film: Festival Director’s Award at the Cannes Short Film Festival 2022.
